One from my shoot last night over at @taylormareeephotography with the beautiful @mikaelabelll look at that belly!😍 she’s using the ‘ mama marks ‘ blend from one our favourite businesses, @earth.blended and jamie has our birthing affirmations ready to pair with her earth birthing kits! 😍😍

This is a quick, full-body workout for anyone with sore knees. Many of my clients have sensitive knees, so these are all movements that have worked well for them in the past. Because it's a bodyweight workout, no equipment is needed! You can do this workout at home, in the gym or even in a hotel room. #fitness#strengthtraining#fullbodyworkout#badknees#aerobicworkout

It all started with Otis. My sisters and I have had uncommon names and since I was little naming my dolls was always a serious task. I truly believe a name can have an affect on your personality. Call me crazy but I love discussing and sharing baby names. The more uncommon the better for me. I love the name Otis, uncommon, cool yet sophisticated enough that my future son could be an profession from lawyer to poet 😜. It also matches my German heritage so I think it’s perfect. But my husband and family hate it and to this day always comes up in conversation and the butt of jokes. I still have a few years to convince my husband but instead of boring my family and friends on baby names I’m turning my passion and love of baby names to Instagram to start a community and help all the mummas to be out there find the perfect unique name for bubba to be. Names released daily with different themes each week. So let’s start with Otis my all time favourite name I’ll never be able to use. Do you like it? .

When these lights are on, it's bedtime in this house.
I really avoid "longing" for bedtime and choose to be present instead. (I don't find those memes funny.) There are only so many bedtimes that one mother gets to experience. But today I struggled to be present. There was a longing. We had an incident with a rock in the car, a cupboard falling over and just general shenanigans in the space of 1.5 hours. I was just tired.
Our girls were very cuddly with one another tonight.
As they held each other, Cadence said quite randomly: "it's okay to be sad. Sometimes, things go wrong."
And, my sweet girl, you are so onto it.
I don't want to claim the emotional intelligence that she's gained for herself but I am grateful for the positive influence that she has in her life: us.
On a day where I felt like I wasn't meeting the bar, I think I'm doing alright after all.

I’m just gonna leave this picture here... Likely until Squish arrives because I’m finding myself wanting to nest and spend quiet moments with my husband before she graces us with her presence. So, if you sense that I’m quieter than usual, that’ll be why - trust me when I say that I’ll be singing from the rooftops when she arrives and the baby spam will be relentless 😉🙌🏻
